PCW PRESENTS: Deadly Intentions 4
Sunday, November 10th, 2013
Live on Pay Per View from the Pure Class Arena in Greenville, South Carolina!
“Ladies and gentlemen, in a few moments ... Pure Class Wrestling brings you Deadly Intentions IV!”
The cameras pan over the entirety of the audience, catching glimpses of notables in the building.
'Nemesis’ by VNV Nation is the theme song of the evening and both members of the band, Ronan Harris and Mark Jackson are in the audience tonight, taking a slight break from their overseas tour to enjoy the festivities. The crowd is absolutely stoked for the evening to begin. The crowd is pumped as the song continues, signs such as “NO ONE is Untouchable!”, “BANGARANG comin’ atcha” (this fan was probably paid for his endorsement), and “The COLORS, man, THE COLORS! - Marry Me, Kelli!” dotting the landscape. The crowd is pumped and the music dies out enough for Mark Long to resume his duties.
“Before we OFFICIALLY start the event, I would like to inform you that videotaping and recording this show is strictly prohibited. Also, laser lights are not allowed in the arena. If anyone is caught with one, they'll be escorted out of the building by security and will not receive any type of refund. And last but certainly not least, the antics displayed in and out of this ring are extremely dangerous and are performed by trained professionals. You should not try this at home. All in all, sit back and enjoy the show!”
Mark takes a a quick breath and continues.
“It’s time to begin .... DEADLYYYYY INTENTIONS IV!”

The camera catches a shot of the one and only Tyler Hendrix standing backstage. His location is none other than the center of the universe that is also known as the good old Coke Machine.
Tyler: This is freakin' amazing! A God damn Coke Machine right here smack dab in the middle of this place! Who ever negotiated this deal is a genius. I really need to look him up and see if he'll work on a contract or two for me.
Tyler slides a dollar bill into the machine and hits the button for a refreshing 20 ounce bottle of ice cold C2. Once the bottle slides down the shoot, Tyler snatches it up with the quickness and twists the top and begins chugging the bottle down like a fiend.
Tyler: Damn...that sucker hit the spot! I just still can't believe that there is a Coke Machine here. I asked to have a few bottles of Coke in my locker room for after the match, but they said it wasn't aloud. And here I am...ten feet or so away from my locker room, and there sits a Coke machine. Jesus...it wasn't like I asked them to separate the brown MM's from the other colors, one more for the road, then I need to head back to the locker room to get taped up.
Tyler slides another bill in the machine, presses the C2 button once again and waits patiently for the bottle to drop. Once it does, he grabs it in a flash and heads back to his locker room.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, the first match of the evening is scheduled for one fall and is a No Disqualification match! “
There is no music to announce the arrival of the first competitor, being as he is not a contracted member of the company. More than that, there is no signature fiery entrance for the man the PCW Faithful have become accustomed to see rising through flame. Instead, {BLACKED OUT} walks purposefully, yet silently, out onto the stage through the curtain before coming to a halt. Still. Unwavering. Resolute. He waits as the Faithful’s ovation grows and grows at which point he begins his slow walk towards the ring. The edge of the hood hanging over his face, he walks steadily towards the ring
Jerry Andrews: The first match of the evening and so much hangs on it already. {BLACKED OUT} could earn himself an official contract if he wins.
Al Laiman: But he’s got to go through an impressive newcomer in Tristan Slater and you can bet your bottom dollar he’ll be out to make a name for himself tonight.
Standing at ringside for a brief moment, he turns to the ring steps and begins to ascend them. Wiping his feet on the apron, he steps through the ropes and enters. Turning to his immediate left, he goes to one of the far corners, disrobes and begins stretching out in anticipation for the next competitor.
"Introducing his opponent, accompanied by Miyoko Kawaaaashiiima. He is from Miami, Florida…. Tristan Slaaaaaater!"
Look in my eyes, what do you see?
Cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I've been everything you want to be
I'm the cult of personality
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I'm the cult of personality
Cult of personality
Cult of personality
There's a mixed reaction from the PCW crowd as Miyoko Kawashima leads Tristan Slater out to the top of the ramp. Miyoko poses with Tristan before the two exchange a peck on the lips. Miyoko leads Tristan towards the ring with Slater following in close pursuit. They reach ringside where last minute strategies are discussed. All the while, Slater keeps his gaze firmly on the focused figure of {BLACKED OUT} in the middle of the ring. The two exchange another kiss on the lips before Tristan slides into the ring where he uses the top rope to do last minute stretching as he awaits the opening bell.
Jerry Andrews: As you said, Al, Slater is out to make a name for himself tonight. A win here could catapult him toward great things.
Al Laiman: He has a massive amount of potential and could be a future star, but this match is dangerous and he’ll have to be careful not to get torn apart. {BLACKED OUT} isn’t just out to win a contract, he wants to punish him.
Referee Nolan Burke refrains from his usual ritual of checking both men for weapon because everything they have on them is legal on this occasion. Instead he merely asks both men if they are ready. {BLACKED OUT} responds with a slow and eerie nod while Slater eagerly paces back and forth and responds verbally. Burke signals to ringside and
Ding Ding…
‘Back in Black’ by AC/DC hits the PA System! The crowd instantly unleashes a volley of boos and jeers to the stage before the man himself walks out, but they know what’s coming. A moment later, the PCW President Skylar Marshall strolls out onto the stage and the boos grow twofold in volume.
Jerry Andrews: What the hell is Marshall doing out here?!
Al Laiman: Our beloved President has a stake in this match, Jerry. He’s the man that signs the paychecks around here and after this match he might have one extra to cash. I’m sure he’s very interested in observing the result.
Jerry Andrews: Yeah, I’m sure that’s the only reason he’s out here.
Marshall pays no mind to the fans as he makes his way down the ramp and toward ringside. As he gets closer to the ring, {BLACKED OUT} stares out at him and the glaze is reciprocated by the President. The tension is evident as Marshall is careful not to get too close, but his dislike of the masked outsider is clear for everyone to see.
As his eyes are pulled elsewhere, {BLACKED OUT} is left distracted and his opponent wastes no time in exploiting the opening. From nowhere he dives across the ring and attacks with a Running Elbow, slamming into the side of {BLACKED OUT}’s head. The hit rocks the larger man and sends him back into the corner, allowing Slater to unload to a combo of strikes while Marshall continues to walk around the ring, now with a satisfied smile on his face.
Jerry Andrews: Slater on the offensive already, with a little help from our beloved President….
Al Laiman: That beloved President can fire you in an instant and he’s about to sit down next to us, if you know what’s best for you you’ll cut out the sarcasm.
With a gracious grin, Marshall takes a seat next to Al Laiman at the commentary position and slides a headset on, watching the action in the ring eagerly as Slater continues with a salvo of quick Shoot kicks to the chest of {BLACKED OUT}, driving the wind out of him.
Skylar Marshall: Good evening, Gentlemen.
Jerry Andrews: To what do we owe the pleasure of having you out here with us, Mr Marshall?
Skylar Marshall: Well, as you know I personally oversee the recruitment of all PCW’s talent, including the man who is dominating this match at the moment, Tristan Slater. And this match could see another… ‘talent’ join the active roster. It is my duty to observe the result.
Al Laiman: See, I told you Andrews, observation!
Slater finally gives up on the boots and pulls {BLACKED OUT} from the corner, now resorting to an effective Double Leg Takedown that topples the larger man before he transitions into a Headlock. Tristan tightens the hold as {BLACKED OUT} struggles for leverage as Nolan Burke moves into position. Before the bigger man can mount a response, Slater quickly rolls and executes a ‘Gator Roll’ across the mat, torqueing the neck of his opponent before rolling back the other way. He attempts a second, but the more powerful man spreads his arms and plants himself in the middle of the ring. Slater tries to force the move, but is soon himself forced in a direction against his will.
{BLACKED OUT} uses his strength advantage and pushes himself off the mat. Even with the weight of Slater pressing down on top of him, he gets to his knees, then all the way back to his feet before hauling Slater off his feet and launching him forward with an impressive throw. Slater lands hard on his face with a Flapjack like maneuver and pushes himself back to his feet just in time to take a Running Shoulder Block that sends him flying. With Slater grounded and stunned by the shot, {BLACKED OUT} sends an evil stare to ringside, straight at Skylar Marshall.
Jerry Andrews: Tristan Slater’s not quite as dominant now.
Skylar Marshall: It’s a marathon not a sprint, Jerry.
Al Laiman: I’ve never seen a No DQ marathon, though.
{BLACKED OUT} turns from Marshall and goes on the offensive, dragging Slater off the mat and onto his feet. Quickly he whips his opponent into the ropes and waits for him to return before dropping to a knee and unleashing a powerful Palm Strike into the gut of Slater that doubles him over. With ruthless purpose, {BLACKED OUT} hits the ropes himself and rebounds into a Swinging Neckbreaker! He wastes no time in quickly hooking the leg for a pin…
One…
T… NO!
Slater kicks out and rolls back to his feet but is met straight away by {BLACKED OUT} who again pushes him back to the ropes and snaps off a vicious Knife Edge Chop, followed by another two and an Irish Whip once more. Slater hits the ropes and comes back toward a ducked {BLACKED OUT}, managing to put the brakes on early and land a fierce kick straight into the metallic mask of his opponent. The eerie outlaw stands bolt-upright after the shot, and Slater responds with an immediate and excruciating boot between the legs!
Jerry Andrews: Low Blow! Slater exploiting the No DQ stipulation already!
Skylar Marshall: That’s what I call using your initiative! It’s what he was signed for!
Even the monstrous figure of {BLACKED OUT} is forced to fall to a Low Blow and Slater’s eyes open at the possibilities now he has a moment to think. He moves fast and grabs his opponent, using his defenseless state to help him hit a hard Snap Suplex. Using his technical skills he keeps hold of {BLACKED OUT} and rolls back to his feet before moving into a waist lock and executing a perfect Northern Lights Suplex on the larger man. He bridges for the pin and Nolan Burke dives into the count….
One…
Two…
NO!
{BLACKED OUT} pushes out and drives back to his feet, even as Slater tries to capitalize on his stunned position. Slater attacks with another combo of strikes, a combination of precise and direct chops and kicks but they appear to do nothing to the slowly rising demonic figure in front of him. Charging up for one more kick, Slater plants himself and lashes out…. But {BLACKED OUT} catches his leg! Before Slater can pull back, his opponent pins his leg with one arm and uses his free arm to grab Slater by the throat and lift him off the mat. With a sudden and explosive burst of speed, {BLACKED OUT} charges forward and powers Slater back first into the turnbuckles!
Still captured by the ominous figure, Slater is powerless to stop the masked man from using his strength and hauling him back up into the air. He hangs in mid-air for a moment until {BLACKED OUT} shifts his weight and turns to the ropes, literally dumping Slater over the top rope with a horrifying collision with the apron on the way down.
Jerry Andrews: My god! With power like that it’s only a matter of time until you’re signing a contract, Mr Marshall.
Skylar Marshall: Has there been a three count yet, Jerry?
Focused as ever, {BLACKED OUT} climbs out onto the apron and takes Slater by the head, pulling him back to his feet as the PCW Faithful express their excitement with a massive cheer. With his head in one hand, the imposing competitor makes a beeline for the commentary position.
Jerry Andrews: Uh oh… they’re coming this way!
Al Laiman: Use the Spanish table!
Slater can’t get his hands up in time to stop his head bouncing off the top of the announce table like a ping-pong ball, with {BLACKED OUT}’s gaze planted firmly on Skylar Marshall who can barely stomach a look back at such close distance. The stare remains for a few moments… and apparently a moment too long as Slater turns and, out of desperation, charges {BLACKED OUT} back first into the apron. This time it’s the big man’s turn to be too stunned to act, as Slater uses all his strength and throws {BLACKED OUT} shoulder first straight into the steel steps with a hideous clang that echoes around the arena.
Taking a moment to compose himself and catch his breath, Slater looks around to evaluate his options, then goes straight for the arm of his opponent, threading it through the ring post. With no warning he violently yanks it, driving {BLACKED OUT}’s shoulder into the post with an animalistic grunt of pain. He tries to pull his arm back, but Slater pulled back and drives his arm into the post again with a shuddering jolt. This time, before his opponent can move, Slater wraps his legs around the arm and drops back into an excruciating Armbar through the ropes!
Al Laiman: Now that is what I call adaptability! Using your environment to your advantage.
Skylar Marshall: Still convinced it’s only a matter of time, Jerry?
Jerry Andrews: Maybe not, but I’m not entirely convinced of your impartiality in this contest either.
Skylar Marshall: I’m hurt, Jerry.
Powerless to call for a rope-break because of the No DQ rules, referee Burke can only move into position and ask the question of {BLACKED OUT} who is trying desperately to tear his arm free. Repeatedly he tries to break the hold and Burke’s requests for a submission grow louder and more insistent until finally he lashes out with a desperate kick around the ring post, catching Tristan in the ribs. {BLACKED OUT} hits another two before, finally, Slater is forced to release the hold.
{BLACKED OUT} recoils backwards holding his arm and trying to get some feeling back, but Slater refuses to give his that opportunity. He approaches from behind and launches a high and powerful kick straight into the injured arm, bolts of pain through his opponent and knocking him back to the commentary table again. This time Andrews, Laiman and Marshall scatter as Slater rushes forward once more and…. {BLACKED OUT} reacts instinctively and powers him into the air, dropping him with a Hotshot straight onto the edge of the table, enough to drive shocks of pain through his gut.
Now the larger man has his chance to shake some feeling back into his arm, though the effort of throwing Slater into the air may have caused more damage. With at least a small amount of healing done, {BLACKED OUT} refocuses and immediately find a target… that isn’t Slater. His eyes drift to the side of the commentary position and he sets off into the mass of doctors, cameramen and timekeepers who all scramble out of the way. In their absence, they leave the onrushing superstar with everything he’s looking for.
Jerry Andrews: This doesn’t bode well for Slater!
Al Laiman: There’s a bunch of vacant chairs and I don’t think the timekeeper’s going to be sitting on his again after this!
{BLACKED OUT} grabs the first chair that comes to hand and immediately turns and jams it into the ribs of Slater who doubles over in agony. The crowd responds with a cheer and calls for another, but the attack refuses to use the chair again, instead he launches the chair high into the air and into the middle of the ring before grabbing a second chair. This time he slams it over the back of Slater and instantly throws it next to the first chair in the ring. A third follows after another blood-curdling crash over the spine of his opponent and, finally a fourth as Slater collapses on the outside in a heap.
Skylar Marshall can only look on in horror as {BLACKED OUT} throws Slater back into the ring after the chairs and follows after him. Slater tries to scramble to his feet and gain some momentum but the moment he turns around, his opponent is upon him. Before he can react, {BLACKED OUT} lands a brutal Headbutt and follows it with another two that send Slater stumbling back toward the corner. {BLACKED OUT} goes after him and begins to thrash away with a Violence Party combo of strikes faster than the eye can see, driving his opponent deeper into the corner by the second.
With Tristan thoroughly stunned, {BLACKED OUT} pulls away from the corner and moves across the ring, sending another barbed stare toward the PCW President at ringside. With those same malicious eyes he looks back into the corner and charges, aiming a boot straight at his opponent’s head. The Face Wash zones in…. but at the last moment Slater rolls out of the way! The big man kicks thin air and his opponent climbs to his feet on the apron, grabs his arm and drops like a stone to the outside, yanking {BLACKED OUT}’s arm damn near out of its socket!
Jerry Andrews: That could be a separation right there! A vicious Guillotine-type maneuver on the arm from Slater!
As the Untouchable cradles his arm, Slater quickly climbs back onto the apron and then up the turnbuckles, looking to capitalize on his opportunity. He reaches the top and sets himself while turns. He has no way to defend himself as Slater throws himself off the top and slams into him with a Flying Crossbody that sends him crashing back-first into the pile of chairs in the middle of the ring. Slater takes a second to recover himself before jumping on top of his opponent in a lateral press….
One…
Two ...
TH… NO!
There is an audible gasp from the Faithful as they must have thought it was over right there, but {BLACKED OUT} stays in it with a kick out and tries to force himself back to his feet. Slater follows him and goes straight back on the attack, grabbing his opponent by the arm and twisting it behind his back into a Chickenwing and torqueing the shoulder even more. Jamming his foot into the back of his opponent’s knee, Slater forces him down even further to increase the leverage on the hold and again Burke is forced to ask for a submission. There is no answer from {BLACKED OUT} though as he struggles to find an escape. He is too far to get to the ropes so he resorts to power and pain-tolerance instead. He pushes himself through the agony and rolls forward, throwing Slater across the ring.
Slater regains his feet quickly and rushes forward before lunging with a Clothesline that his opponent ducks out of pure instinct. The momentum of Slater is carried into the opposite ropes and he rebounds at pace… straight into a massive Spinebuster on the pile of chairs! Crawling into position, {BLACKED OUT} hooks the leg and makes the pin…
One…
Two….
THR..KICK OUT!
Somehow Slater gets his shoulder up and tries to get to his feet but is met by a strong Forearm to the side of the head from {BLACKED OUT} but he finds the energy to reply with a right hand of his own. Both men begin to exchange blows back and forth with Slater holding his own despite the massive difference in size and strength. Forearms, punches and chops flow to and fro with Tristan wearing down bit by bit until, out of necessity, he lands a sudden and impressive high Dropkick to the face that sends both men to the mat.
Jerry Andrews: Both men are down, this match could hinge on who the first man to recover is.
Al Laiman: And if they can take advantage of that opportunity. This match is all about taking whatever chance you can get now.
Both men struggle on the mat for a few moments until they begin to move. Both men crawl to the ropes and begin to pull themselves up, but it’s quickly apparent that both of them have help. Each competitor has a steel chair in hand and is using it to help push themselves to their feet. The first up is Slater as he clutches his back in pain, but he is closely followed by {BLACKED OUT} who is clearly favoring his right arm after the damage done to it. Out of frustration and growing pain, he is the first to react, charging forward and swinging his chair at the head of Slater with uncontrolled and reckless abandon…. But Slater ducks it!
Instead he rushes forward himself and carries all his momentum into the ropes while still holding his chair. {BLACKED OUT}’s implement of carnage was flung with so much abandon that it flies off and lands somewhere near the front row, leaving him to turn and see the image of a running steel chair approaching at pace. Slater swings the chair and…. It crashes straight back into his chest thanks to a massive Big Boot from his opponent!
A surge of adrenaline hits {BLACKED OUT} and the pain in his arm seems to dull momentarily, at least enough for him to grab his opponent by the head, pull him forcefully back to his feet and haul him all the way onto his shoulders in preparation for a Powerbomb. Slater hang in the air for a second, unsure of what is going on and then fights back with a hard right to the top of the head. The shots keep coming, down and down until {BLACKED OUT}’s grip is broken enough for Slater to force himself up and over the top of his swaying opponent.
Jumping behind him, Slater lands on the middle turnbuckle and lashes out with an improvised Solebutt straight to the back of {BLACKED OUT}’s head, dropping him painfully to a knee. Before he can recover, Tristan turns and throws himself off the turnbuckles, grabbing his opponent’s head on the way down and smashing it into the steel chairs with a skull-smashing Flying Bulldog!
Al Laiman: {BLACKED OUT}’s face just got mashed into that steel, he’s got to be out!
Jerry Andrews: But he’s wearing that mask, maybe it blocked some of the impact. Mr Marshall, care to share your thoughts?.... Mr Marshall?
There is no reply from the President as he leans forward in his seat in anticipation while Slater pulls himself on top of his motionless opponent, hooking the leg as an afterthought…
One…
Two….
THREE!
NO!
Somehow the Untouchable gets a shoulder off the mat in time as Slater anxiously asks Nolan Burke if he was sure it was only two. Burke holds his own and waves off the protest, forcing the competitor to climb to his feet and find another way to put his opponent down for good. Climbing up tiredly, Slater begins to pace and look around himself to find a way of beating {BLACKED OUT} that little bit more and he resorts to grabbing a chair.
Even though he instinctively held one earlier in the match, Slater struggles with the idea of using it, preferring to handle matches with his own technical skill. But in the back of his mind he thinks that he might need to break that rule to win this time. He looks at his opponent as he very slowly pushes himself off the mat and tries to get to his feet, then takes aim. {BLACKED OUT} pops his head up and Slater lifts the chair high into the air…… but out of nowhere comes a startling flash of light!
Jerry Andrews: FIREBALL!
A ball of flame looks to engulf the face of Slater and a gasp of astonishment and shock comes from the fans. {BLACKED OUT} acted out of pure desperation and fired his last gasp attack….. but when the light and smoke clears, Slater is still standing, with a grin on his perfectly unharmed face!
Jerry Andrews: What the hell?!
Al Laiman: Look at the chair! The char marks on the steel, he blocked the Fireball with the chair!
With his desperation move all but worthless, {BLACKED OUT} loses all control and throws all his remaining energy into a wild lunge that the fresher Slater catches. In the blink of an eye, Tristan grabs the flailing arm and drops straight into a Crippler Crossface, but before he hooks his hands he grabs the chair and expertly wraps it around the head and neck of his opponent before pulling hard on the weapon itself!
Jerry Andrews: He’s got him in the Crossface! A Chair-Assisted Crippler Crossface!
Skylar Marshall: Hahaha!
{BLACKED OUT} struggles hard, knowing he only has a few moments to escape before the metal of the chair cuts off his circulation or his shoulder finally gives way an seperates. It’s no good though as he is stranded in the middle of the ring. Nolan Burke makes sure he’s in position but still the downed exile refused to give in to the hold. Slater pulls and pulls but the larger man won’t submit… although very quickly he begins to weaken. Somehow, he refrains from tapping to the pain of his shoulder, but slower and slower his actions become until soon there is nothing and the crowd are clapping to try and lift him from his daze. It’s not enough, though, and Burke grabs his arm to make the count….
One….
His arm hits the mat with no response and Burke lifts it for a second time before dropping…
Two….
Still no response and Slater shouts at the referee, “Do it, Ref!”. Burke lifts the arm a third time and drops it…
…But it doesn’t fall! {BLACKED OUT} shows a flash of energy and uses it to suddenly push through all the pain he’s enduring and roll Slater over, landing him on his back in a pinning predicament!
One…
Two…
THREE!!!
NO!!!!
Slater releases the hold at the very last moment in order to break the pin and escape but the reversal has left him stunned and frustrated. Both men struggle to their feet in a daze and take a moment to get their bearings before turning, but {BLACKED OUT} is faster and the takes a wild swing with the Steel Chair he has just removed from around his neck, smashing it over the cranium of his opponent with a horrifying, disgusting crack!
Al Laiman: Slater’s still up…. But I don’t think he knows it, he’s unconscious on his feet!
Slater is still standing, but by the glazed over look in his eyes it’s clear the lights are on but nobody’s home. {BLACKED OUT} throws down the horrendously malformed and dented chair and lifts his hand high into the air. The PCW Faithful respond with a raucous cheer and the Untouchable brings his entire palm down on Slater’s forehead, clenching as hard as he can with an agonizing Vice Grip!
Jerry Andrews: The Beginning, the Iron Claw is locked in! Wait… Mr Marshall, what are you….?
Skylar Marshall: Gentlemen, it’s been a pleasure….
Before either Andrews or Laiman can say anything, Marshall throws his headset down and strides to the ring with a strange combination of confident and panic. The PCW President slides into the ring with all the grace of an executive rather than a wrestler and clumsily grabs one of the spare, undamaged steel chairs. The boos ring out around the arena as he takes aim from behind the masked man and slams the chair into his back as hard as he can manage!
…But {BLACKED OUT} barely flinches at the impact. Instead he throws Slater backwards with the Clawing hand and begins to turn. Marshall could have run away in the time it takes him to turn, but he is stunned into stillness like a rabbit in the headlights. Finally, {BLACKED OUT}’s eyes meet Marshall’s and his chest heaves with both exertion and anger.
Jerry Andrews: Was it worth it, Marshall?
The two seem to stay motionless for an eternity as the crowd chant their desire for Marshall to be destroyed until…. Finally Skylar bolts! He clumsily scrambles out of the ring and {BLACKED OUT} takes off after him in a mad, infuriated and yet strangely methodical pursuit, like Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees. Marshall hurries over the nearest security barrier and scurries into the crowd while the ruthless {BLACKED OUT} follows him and leaves Tristan Slater alone in the ring with the referee.
Unable to count out {BLACKED OUT} or rule a no-contest, Burke shrugs his shoulders when Slater asks him what to do. With no other option, Slater shakes his head and makes a beeline for the ropes, climbing to the outside in a still-stunned manner and taking off after his opponent into the crowd, followed shortly thereafter by Burke. There is a period of silence and confusion and the slow dawning that none of the men are coming back and no cameraman was quick enough to follow them either.
Al Laiman: Well…. Now what?!
Winner: ??
Jerry Andrews: Ladies and gentleman, we seem to have… lost {BLACKED OUT} and Tristan Slater. We can only assume the contest is still continuing and we will try to get an eye on it very soon… but for now, I’m being told that the show must go on.
Al Laiman: The show must go on? That’s the best you’ve got?
Jerry Andrews: It’s ALL I’ve got… and with that, let’s head backstage!
